Having a long or frustrating commute is something many employees deal with every day. This affects a lot of different things. Employees may arrive to work frustrated, which can impact their ability to be productive early in the day; it can make it more difficult to come to work during inclement weather; and it can significantly affect costs like fuel, insurance, and vehicle maintenance. All of these can have an outsized impact, even affecting retention in some cases. As such, it is in an employer’s best interest to see if there are ways to reduce the stress and cost of commuting for its employees.
